发帖数: 38 | 5 We had the same experience, we moved in after three weeks, but it took
another week for the smell to go down to the okay level. I don't know
why, maybe the smell is close to the ground, so keeping window open is
not enough. People walking on it, however, may help to stir the smell up
and make it out.
It will take another few weeks for the smell to completely go off
though.
The odor is not good for health, but it didn't impose an issue for our
3-month old.
Good luck.

发帖数: 4125 | 6 In short, the term "Chinese Drywall" (or tainted drywall or wallboard)
refers to drywall imported from China from 2001 to 2007 which contains
contaminants that are emitting gases which usually (but not always) create a
noxious odor and corrode copper and other metal surfaces, thereby damaging
your air conditioner, electrical wiring, copper plumbing, appliances and electronics.
Symptoms typically appear in about 24 months. Corrosion of electrical
wiring can hamper the effectiveness of your sm |

发帖数: 15836 | 7 You can buy air purifier, which can cost you several hundred dollars for a
decent one. The cheapest way to improve air quality of the whole house is to
buy a good furnace air filter which can help improve the air for the whole
house. That will cost about $10-$30 but needs to be replaced every about 3
months. But if you just want to remove 装修的味道, one should be enough for
you. Just make sure you get the best one which can remove odor and other
tiny particles. |

发帖数: 6568 | 9 HD/Lowes have the plastic sheets for covering the floor, a 10ftx12ft piece
is less than $2.
it is in the paint section. Just go there and ask the sales, you'll get
everything you need.
For water-based paint sld in marican stores, you can 入住 right away.
Although people wait fro s few days to let the odor out. |

发帖数: 3104 | 13 I have seen people do so and with pretty good results according to them.
They are living in an apartment so they put it inside.
Problem is it is time consuming. You need to prepare good quality food, not
too much moisture and not too dry.
Good thing is there is not much unpleasant odor |

发帖数: 160 | 15 I used Kelly Moore paint. It should be non-toxic and better than HD/Lowes
ones. There's indeed no odor. Just the cabinets bought from local Chinese
stores smell badly, and continuously (it has been 2 months now).
I didn't realize VOC can come from cabinets too. A hard lesson. |

发帖数: 280 | 26 三种我都买过。Aura覆盖能力超强。我买了浅兰色覆盖原来的红色。只刷一遍就好。太
amazing了。Natura是low odor, zero-VOC, 100% acrylic。可是味道真难闻，好在很
快就没味道了。Ben一般般，覆盖能力也还好，比不上aura，个人觉得味道还好闻点，
就是挥发的有点慢。请来的painter还是赞说BM的paint是最好的。 |

most neighbors I talked to did not complain the odor too much problem a few

you can get some activated charcoal such as damprid to get rid of the odor

Pity you can post a picture, or even a video clip here, but you can't post

发帖数: 1276 | 45 Are you sure that is gas detector?
CO detector can't detect gas. The detector used by gas company is about 6k
usd.
Also gas is not that scary. Gas pipe is really low pressure. You can use
some gas pipe glue to seal it. If you can smell the odor from outside of the
front door, that is the explosion level. |
